Guess the Purdue drummer was planning to make some 'boilermakers'? (See it, see it?) 

"Thank you & don't forget to tip your servers." (I'll see myself out...)

I'm laughing, but I don't actually get it.  😄

I guess @perc2100  didn’t get it as well. They are the “Purdue Boilermakers” (locomotive mascot) & the boilermaker is also a cocktail with beer & whiskey. I thought it was funny. 😁 🤷‍♂️😂😎

in 2000 in all age, we did the Clifton show on Saturday, which as any DCA show will do ran way long...alumni corps kept throwing in encores...then hauled down the garden state parkway to toms river for a 1 or 2 pm show. not a ton of miles, but jersey late night driving....and the school wasn't open when we got there. as all age usually didn't do back to back stuff like this, we were wiped...and had to drive home. a lot of younger kids, so complaints about no busses were registered loudly.

I just remember doing that show with Statesmen and then getting on the bus to take a nap after getting out of uniform, only to get shocked awake when one of the guard members ran on the bus to scream that we won.

I don't remember doing an encore, so I woke up for nothing. 😄

As an alum of The Ohio State University, you bet you butt I 100% got the joke, but my limitations of reactions are only lol or the 'confusion' and I went with 'confusion' more as a 'that was a bad/dad esque joke' so my apologies for the confusion
 

(Seriously; coming from Central OH I spent quite a bit of time lol'ing at Purdue on the football field, and watching OSU get their butts handed to them by Purdue in the basketball arena 🤪😐)

Cool; as an alumni of OSU, you need to donate a big ### bass drum like this one. Only bigger! 😂

P.S. A drum this size is pretty much useless.

Useless, yes.
Did I want to hit this drum, as a percussionist (and OSU music major) everytime I saw it?  HELL yes!! 🤪
